Leporinus santosi is a species of Leporinus found in the lower Rio Tocantins in Pará State, Brazil in South America.[1] This species can reach a length of 13.5 centimetres (5.3 in) SL.[2]
Etymology
It is named in honor of Geraldo Mendes dos Santos, of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia in Manaus, for his contributions to the knowledge of the fish fauna of the lower Rio Tocantins due to his studies on anostomids and on the impacts of the Tucuruí dam on the environment.[3]
